Qlecha

I didn't have to do much research for 'Q', this being the difficult alphabet. In Gayathri's space I found a wonderful recipe the Iraqi Qlecha or Kleicha. Iraq, officially the Republic of Iraq, is a western Asian country. Its capital is Baghdad. It shares its boundaries with Turkey in the north, Iran in the east, Kuwait in the south east, Saudi Arabia in the south, Jordan in the south west and Syria in the west. Source: Wikipedia

It seems this cookie is made during EID and shared with friends and relatives. H thoroughly enjoyed these sweets. It is also very easy to make. This is very similar to the Andhra sweet recipe - Kajjikayalu, except that the qlechas are baked, so less of oil.

I had to make this recipe twice. Initially I made these qlechas, took snaps. But while editing the blog post I found the snaps to be missing and by that time the qlechas got over. So I made the qlechas again, the second time less in number and took snaps again. The qlechas ran away in a day.
